"Nuclear Archaeology" Inspires Replica of Hiroshima's Little Boy

James Cho writes "Through a decade of painstaking reverse engineering, trucker John Coster-Mullen built the first accurate replica of the Hiroshima bomb. His work yielded a new history of the first nukes, 'Atom Bombs: The Top Secret Inside Story of Little Boy and Fat Man,' with historian Robert Norris saying, 'Nothing else in the Manhattan Project literature comes close.' Philip Morrison, one of the physicists who helped invent the bomb, deemed it 'a remarkable job.'"

If you decided on being someone else's problem, you'd go to sleep one night and no longer be anybody's problem.

The authors of the second amendment wrote the second amendment so that We the People have an ultimate ability to be the final check and balance on the government. A government that is afraid of its people serves its people best.

Without assault weapons, we don't have that ability. Nukes are another story though. They don't have a place in any humane culture.
